Carroll is the first college
in the nation to be a part of a
new fitness program designed
specifically for women.
Pink Gloves Boxing
(PGB) has become
a campus-wide
sensation,
drawing the
attention of
many Carroll
women.
"It's a
woman's
way to
knock the
stress out of the day,
Nick Milodragovich.
According to co-owners
Garret Garrels and
Milodragovich, there are
about 100 Carroll women
(12% of female students)
involved in the program.
There are about 300 women
total in the program.
The duo both graduated
from Carroll in May 2009.
Milodragovich earned a
bachelor's degree in civil
engineering and Garrels
a bachelor's degree in
community health and sports management
with a minor in business administration.
According to Milodragovich, Garrels
Sarah Berg works out with trainer Nick Milodragovich.

started PGB in 2006, and he later joined
him in 2009.
According to the PGB website, Garrels
started the endeavor when he was in a
one-on-one training session. The woman
was quite excited about the workout and
began recruiting other women to join her.

Carroll commits to addition of track and field

Carroll has just announced that a track
and field team will now be part of the
athletic department. According to Bruce
Parker, athletic director at Carroll, the
idea of a track and field team has been
discussed for the past three years.
"It is part of Carroll's optimal
enrollment initiative, but it will also
provide more athletic opportunities at the
college," said Parker.
According to Parker, the athletic
department has set up a strategic timeline
for the program. The first step is to
immediately hire an interim head coach
that will team up with the admissions
office and begin recruiting.
"We are in the process of finalizing
the job description for a permanent head
coach," said Parker. "The job will begin
on Thursday, July 1."
Parker also said that a committee of
students, faculty, staff and administration
has been established to assist with the
hiring of the coach.
"This will be a crucial hire for the
athletic department," said Parker.
"We are also looking to find someone
to serve as a faculty member for a few
courses as well as a coach," said Renee
Wall, associate athletic director.
According to Parker, the teaching
aspect will be an essential part of the hire,
meaning the person will have a minimum
fall," said Parker. "We hope for a large
group to be practicing and competing."
"I did track all throughout high school
and really enjoyed it," said Justin Smith,
junior business and sport management
major from Portland. "So the prospect of
potentially joining the track team is very
exciting to me."
"I'm excited," said freshman biology
major, Ariel Murtagh from Billings, who
also competes on the cross country team.
"Kven though I hate running in circles,
it will be awesome to be able to compete
all year round. I'm excited to try the
steeplechase!"
According to Parker, in the surrounding
states there are about 50,000 high school
track and field competitors and they have
few athletic options after high school.
"We were looking to add sports that
would get different areas [of attention],"
said Parker. "Track is an individual and
team sport. You set personal goals and
leam goals."
"Track and field athletes are good
students and will fit well academically,"
said Wall. "We look for the best and the
brightest—talented students and athletes
that can thrive in college."
According to Parker, the team will use
the Helena school district facilities, but
also intend to use the facilities at Carroll
as much as possible.
"Dr. Bruce Messingcr, superintendent of
Helena schools, and Jim Opitz, activities
director for the Helena school district,
have been more than accommodating,''
said Parker
support from President Thomas Trebon
and the Senior Leadership Team at
Carroll.
According to Parker and Wall, the
coaches of other fighting Saints athletic
teams are excited about the program and
are willing to have multi-sport athletes.
"It is just another opportunity to be part
of a team or group that many athletes want
to continue after high school," said Wall.
"This is a positive deal for us," said
Parker. "The team will be open to
everyone. We are excited and are doing
our small part to help with the optimal
enrollment plan."
If interested in joining the track and
field team, a questionaire is available at
